Turning Plate to Reach Steak

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

In a fancy restaurant, should I leave my plate the way the waiter placed it, or can I turn the plate so that the steak is in front of me? I find it hard to cut the meat when it is over on the other side.

Signed,

Steak Man

Dear Steak Man,

A plate of prepared food should be placed with the main entree facing closest to the patron. If the plate is not positioned to your satisfaction, then go ahead and rotate the plate until the meat is in front of you.
